Grixis Mana base

I am struggling with the mana base for my grixis giants deck (pasted below). I feel like constructing a balanced but efficient mana base is not my strong suit. Any advice ?

I would suggest running shocklands in place of Cascade Bluffs (awkward to use, non-fetchable), Mountain (generally basic lands are for blood-moon protection. Mountain then becomes a redundant land), and Sulfur Falls _(non-fetchable, awkward etb requirements).

As a side, i think part of your problem is the quantity of lands you’re running. 23 (incl. Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip) feels really low for what you’re trying to do here, and 25 might instead serve you better.
